WOOLEN TAPESTRY FLEMISH, MIDDLE OF THE 17TH CENTURY 
From a set of the story of the Emperor Mareus Aurelius. The 
present tapestry shows the Emperor commending his son to the 
care of two philosophers. The Emperor is represented standing 
in front of his throne, his son to his left, while the two philos- 
ophers stand to the left of the composition. This composition of 
life-size figures shows the influence of Rubens, who introduced 
a new style into tapestry design. A characteristic detail is the 
carefully rendered colorful Persian rug spread in front of the 
throne. The border is typically Flemish, 17th century, with 
fruit garlands suspended and held by amorini; in the middle of 


- the side borders are Renaissance consoles on which a parrot and 


120 


a falcon are seated. The predominant colors are tan and blue, 
with touches of purple and red. The lower border has a car- 
touch with the inscription ‘‘Mareus Aurelius filium philosophis 
comendat’’, ‘‘Mareus Aurelius commends his son to the philos- 
ophers.”’ Height, 10 feet 9 inches; width, 7 feet 11 inches
